rizz Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Imagine someone you were with told you that they loved you, but you didn't love them back. What would you say? How would you handle it. Nothing to do with me btw, just thought it'd be interesting.
Ashley Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 I've lied before and said it back. There's far too much false stigma attached to those words. Yes its nice to hear it genuinely but meh...lying never hurts no?
nightwolf Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 I used to when I was younger say it back, but in the end it felt so awful to be lying about such a thing that I just always mentioned that although if love ever came up in the relationship and I wasn't in love I would be truthful rather than lie.
S.C.G Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 If I really didn't love them then I'd say so... what's the point in lying? It'd only cause more hurt in the long run.
Jon Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 I get it all the time, My cat never says it back.
Goafer Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 "Thanks. I got them from the Nike website. I payed £80 for them. What's the point of paying some Chinese kids peanuts to make them if I still have to pay that much?!" Then go off on a rant about how lucky the Chinese kids are lucky because they are earning and being useful. If she still loves me after that, I'll almost certainly love her back. Problem solved.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 I've been in that situation. In a relationship where I lost my feelings for her. Eventually I came clean - you can't lie to yourself - but it took some time, and she was actually the first to bring it up, as I think she had noticed it or maybe were having doubts about the relationship herself.
Paj! Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 I don' loveyou Lahk AH DIYD Yustur Day ay. I forgot that song existed until last week. And it has...39 (!) plays on my iTunes. I was emo (trying-failing). --- Anyway. I'd just lie, then reveal the truth in a dramatic and heart-cleaving manner in front of loads of people for fun.
Shorty Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 ...lying never hurts no? Yes I'm pretty sure this is a famous and well regarded philosophy.
Molly Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 I'd just throw myself at him and hope he forgets what he said. Heh, it's a toughie. If they say ''I love you'' and you say ''Thank you'', it's not gonna go well. Once in the past I said ''I'm falling for you too'', that worked well, until we broke up. I don't have any coherent words of wisdom, I've been single for ages.
Ramar Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 I've been wondering this for a while, rizz, when are you going to change your name to jizz?
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 I'd just throw myself at him and hope he forgets what he said. If only more women took on this approach. The world would be a happier and hornier place. Mmm. Bliss. My friend had this problem recently. His girlfriend kept saying she loved him, but he wasn't sure he felt the same. So, the first time he said "Ok." The second time, I'm pretty sure it just led to sex, taking the Molly approach. In the end, he said he loved her, too. Although, he does actually feel that way, so it's not a lie. Wooo! What would I do? Knowing me, I'd be terrified of making the woman feel bad, and I'd say it back. Unless I actually didn't like the woman much at all. In which case, I'd try to be gracious and say "thanks."
or else you will DIE Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 i love you too as a friend owned
Jimbob Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 I've had many a situation like that before, and i believe it is still occurring now between myself and another female. She loves me, and i don't love her.
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Say the conventional pimpsmack like "me too" [might send the wrong message] or "thanks".
Cube Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 I'd be so shocked that someone likes me that I'll instantly fall in love with them. Then probably drop dead.
weeyellowbloke Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 "Lol, total winz" or "No you don't, you lust me and I lust you too honey". On a side note, whenever I hear "I love you" I immediately start internally singing "I luv u" by Dizzee Rascal to myself. Kind of ruined the event for me that has.
rizz Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 I've been wondering this for a while, rizz, when are you going to change your name to jizz? Nevarr. I could change to one of my new nicknames. rizz is old, people started calling me it 8 years ago. No-one does anymore. Once in the past I said ''I'm falling for you too'', that worked well, until we broke up. Haha! I'll remember that one! :P
Daft Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 I'd be so shocked that someone likes me that I'll instantly fall in love with them. Then probably drop dead. Bleak.....
Iun Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 I think the real question is : Have you ever lied to someone and said "I love you too" in return for sex? I have.
Pit-Jr Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 no no no, when this situation arises, you always respond with ''I love me too!''
Raining_again Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Last time I said anything like that, I got told to pull myself together, so I'm a bit cynical on the whole L word these days...
Rummy Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Suckerpunch to the face, steal their bag, run away. Applicable to other situations also, but the best response for a situation like this, obviously. Love isn't simply dichotomous anyway, but it's presented like it is and it leads to these kinds of problems, a point I'm fairly sure someone either brought up in IRC or a dream of mine last night. For the real srs answer, not sure what I'd do, it'd depend on the situation, but I'd gloss over it stylishly maybe. I might love them a little, I might love them alot, I might love them and not be in love, who knows. It's too complicated!
